Valley residents have a chance to be part of the Super Bowl Experience in downtown Phoenix by volunteering as Zero Waste Ambassadors.

Zero Waste Ambassadors will be instrumental in helping the City of Phoenix reach its goal of a Zero Waste Super Bowl. As defined by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Zero Waste means diverting at least 90% of waste away from the landfill. Phoenix’s goal for Super Bowl LVII is 92% waste diversion, which would make it the greenest Super Bowl yet!

“With 2,000 tons of waste expected to come from Super Bowl events, we need Zero Waste Ambassadors to help make sure food waste gets composted and recyclables get recycled,” said City of Phoenix Zero Waste Coordinator Alexis Yaple. “They will be the first line of defense, so to speak, as they prevent as much waste as possible from going to the landfill.”

Zero Waste Ambassadors will be stationed at nearby trash and recycle containers in the downtown Phoenix area.

Duties may include:

• Educating attendees about what is recyclable and compostable
• Ensuring attendees place items in the correct container
• Monitoring containers and reporting fill levels to Public Works staff
• Reporting littering or other issues to Public Works staff
• Conducting any other pertinent duties to ensure the event reaches its zero waste goal

Volunteers must be at least 18 years old. To volunteer, sign up here or contact the Volunteer PHX Office at [email protected] with questions.
